<p class="title">Last few years have been really busy for Pankaj Tripathi with back-to-back releases as well as outings on the digital platforms but the actor says he would like to slow down a bit as he does not want to get "repetitive".</p>.<p class="bodytext">Tripathi, who has an equally busy 2019 lined up for him, says he wants to assess where his career is heading.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"I have already shot for about eight to ten films and web shows. I am constantly working. I do not count how many films or series I am doing in a year. Out of 365 days, I am shooting 350 days but now I want to take a break, take a holiday and enjoy life.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"I want to take a break next year and think about what I should do workwise," Tripathi told PTI.</p>.<p class="bodytext">In 2019, he has already featured in two films -- "Luka Chuppi" and "The Tashkent Files" -- and Tripathi will also be seen in "Drive" and Hrithik Roshan-starrer "Super 30".</p>.<p class="bodytext">Tripathi says one of the reasons to take things slow is because he does not want to become "monotonous" and "repetitive" with his performances.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"I am worried about going in that direction. I try to pick the best from what is offered to me and then with roles also I try to add something new. There is a constant conflict to not become repetitive."</p>.<p class="bodytext">With his nuanced-yet-grounded performances, Tripathi has managed to strike a chord with audiences and the actor feels happy that they look forward to his roles.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"The connect that I have with the audience comes from my hard work and sincerity towards my craft. And also because of the opportunities that I have had. I have been able to engage with my audiences. They observe my performances minutely. They think I will do some magic on the screen. They like me because I don't do over-the-top acting," he adds.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The actor is currently in a happy space as his Hotstar's web-series "Criminal Justice" has been lauded by both the critics and audiences. He will next be seen in season two of "Sacred Games" where he is set to play a key role.</p>.<p class="bodytext">For an actor like him, Tripathi says digital medium has emerged as a great space.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"In films, we depend on box office opening to determine whether a film is a hit or not, but there is no such thing on the web. The parameter of a hit or a flop is on the performance.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"Digital medium is turning out to be an advantage for actors like me. Gimmicks don't work here, performance and a good story matter." </p>
